Tutorial: debug Stellaris LM4Fxxx MCU with open source tools

Scompo noticed that the examples with the Stellaris Launchpad are close source licensed. So he developed a BSD licensed low level startup code, linker script and makefile as a template. To test it he built OpenOCD and wrote a short tutorial for it. Scompo explains, “This is a sample project to be used with Stellaris LM4Fxxx TI microcontrollers. The main reason why I started doing this project is that Stellarisware (C libraries for LM4F microcontrollers by Texas Instruments) has a free and royalty-free license, while the code examples are available with restrictive license that you can’t use for your own projects. The other reason is I wanted to know what’s going on behind writing a simple “$ make”.”
